GBC Russia has attained Prospective Green Building Council status within the World Green Building Council

Совет по экологическому строительству GBC RUSSIA получил поздравление от Кристины Гамбоа (Cristina Gamboa), Директора Всемирного Совета по экологическому строительству (CEO, World Green Building Council) и подтверждение статуса членства Prospective Green Building Council во Всемирном Совете.

Кристина Гамбоа отметила, что Всемирный Совет впечатлен усилиями Совета и выразила уверенность, что Совет продолжит руководить отраслью, просвещать рынок и выступать в качестве основного источника знаний и коллективных действий по преобразованию зданий и строительного сектора в России и за ее пределами, поскольку выбросы углекислого газа не знают границ.

В сообщении подчеркнуто, что GBC Russia имеет сильную команду, легальную регистрацию и разработанную комплексную и всеобъемлющую стратегию развития своей организации для преобразования строительной отрасли:

"Dear leaders of GBC Russia,

It is with great pleasure to confirm that as of the date indicated above, GBC Russia has attained Prospective Green Building Council status within the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC). WorldGBC is impressed by the efforts of this Council to date and we have every confidence that it will continue to lead the industry, educate the market and act as the primary source of knowledge and collective action to transform the buildings and construction sector in your country and beyond as carbon emissions respect no frontiers.

At this stage of membership GBC Russia has a strong founding group, has registered legally in their country and has developed a comprehensive strategy for how they will grow their organization in order to transform the building industry in their country. GBC Russia now has 12- 24 months (from the date stated above) to fully operationalise its organisation, secure funding, hire staff, implement its strategy, develop a strong governance structure, and meet the requirements of the WorldGBC Membership Application Checklist. This will enable the GBC to progress to the next level of membership – Emerging status – at which the GBC will receive increased WorldGBC benefits and leadership opportunities.

As you know, globally, our sector accounts for almost a third of global CO2 emissions. But it also offers one of the most cost-effective ways to mitigate emissions, whilst at the same time enabling opportunities to stimulate economic growth, improve health and wellbeing and create sustainable communities. This is why GBCs are required all around the world to drive sustainability in the building and construction sector.

WorldGBC catalyses the uptake of sustainable buildings for everyone, everywhere. Transforming the building and construction sector across three strategic areas - climate action, health & wellbeing, and resources & circularity - we are a global action network comprised of around 70 Green Building Councils around the globe.

As members of the UN Global Compact, we work with businesses, organisations and governments to drive the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Through a systems change approach, our network is leading the industry towards a net zero carbon, healthy, equitable and resilient built environment.

We look forward to working with you in our many ongoing projects and campaigns, such as World Green Building Week, Better Places for People, Advancing Net Zero and collaborative work with influential multilateral and non-for-profit organisations such as UNEP, C40, We Mean Business and World Resources Institute.

Your support of the GBC Network is greatly appreciated. It is leaders such as yourself who will be central at delivering our commitment to sustainable buildings for everyone, everywhere to build a better future.

Yours sincerely,

Cristina Gamboa

CEO, World Green Building Council"
